Java.lang.ClassCastException by url.getContent()

Question

Hello,
my sample code out of my learning book don't works and i can't fix it. The code sould read a webpage and print it to the console. But i get an error by running the class. The code and the error are below. The archives has similar postings but know clear solution (for me) for it.
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Snatch {
     public static void main(String[] arg) {
          int character;
          BufferedInputStream bin;
          try {
               URL url = new URL("http://www.google.de/index.html");
               bin = (BufferedInputStream)url.getContent();
               while((character = bin.read()) >0)
                    System.out.print((char)character);
                    System.out.println();
               } catch(MalformedURLException e) {
                    System.out.println(e);
               } catch(IOException e) {
                    System.out.println(e);
}error runtime inviroment:
C:\Vogtmann\java\aewcode\network>java Snatch
java.lang.ClassCastException: sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$HttpInputStream
     at Snatch.main(Snatch.java:9)
Exception in thread "main"
